A: The girl fell in the mud and got dirty. One thing my constant companion and I agreed on was that we hated school. I couldn't wait until I got out. No more homework, no more books, no more teachers' dirty looks. My companion first showed up, when I was six, but it was years before it had a name. Now the shrinks said I was just hyper. I made funny noises and acted weird to draw attention to myself. It was just a phase: I'd grow out of it and be “normal”, like everybody else. Through it all, my constant companion stuck with me. 
B: Afternoon, officer. Was I speeding?
C: Twelve miles over the limit. St. Louis, huh? You a tourist?
B: Uh, no. I live in Atlanta now. I just moved here. I guess I was a little distracted.
C: Son, you been drinking?
B: No, no, sir. I have Tourette Syndrome.
C: Take it easy, son. I'm going to need you to sign this. So, what kind of job you looking for?
A: Teaching. I'm going to be a teacher. I get that look a lot, but I never let it get to me. 
D: I see you've got a B.A. from Bradley University. That's in Illinois, isn't it?
B: Yes, ma'am.
D: Your student teaching evals scores are outstanding, excellent. What made you decide to go into teaching?
B: Uh, it's all I've ever wanted to do. I feel like I was born to teach. Maybe we should talk about the elephant.
D: Elephant?
B: In the room: my Tourette's.
D: No. The Americans with Disabilities Act doesn't allow me to ask you...
D: I know, but I'd like to tell you just like I tell the kids in my classes. See, I explain to them that it's a brain thing that causes me to make strange noises. They're like sneezes, irrepressible. When you have to, you have to. 
D: How do they react?
B: Once they understand, they're fine with it. It's never caused any problems in a classroom. All I want is a chance. Just get me the interviews and let me prove to them that I can do the job. The Americans with Disabilities Act says I'm entitled to a chance.
B: Ron!
E: Hey, how'd it go?
B: Uh, you know...Who wants a teacher that barks like a dog? You should try another line of work.
E: Are you serious? Didn't they look at your resume? Uh, you're kidding.
B: They're setting up interviews with some principals.
E: Fantastic. When?
B: Oh, I don't know. I've gotta wait for their calls.
E: Get changed. We gotta go celebrate.
B: Haven't you got a date?
E: Eh...She...She's got a friend. It's about time you started meeting some chicks.
B: I can't focus on dating right now.
E: Well, have fun focusing. After the first call, I got two more: three interviews with three principals. Needless to say, my constant companion was more than a little enthusiastic.
F: Well, I see you only have your bachelor's degree. Are you planning to get your Master's? 
B: Yes, sir. JOOP! As soon as I can.
F: Well, we don't require it for entry level, but if you're serious about...
B: I'm very serious. I want to make teaching my life. I, uh, I make these noises because I have Tourette Syndrome. I'd like to tell you about it. It's a Neurological disorder where my brain sends mixed signals to my body. It's like sneeze. It's irrepressible.
F: A couple of weeks, and I'll give you a call. 
B: OK.
F: OK, thank you very much.
B: Thanks.
F: Take care. Well, strike one. But, like Mom always said, don't ever give up. To always face my adversity head on. When I went to my next interview, I decided to be even more up front. Get the Tourette's stuff out of the way first and then dazzle them with my approach to teaching.
G: You seem to have been very successful in spite of your Tourette's.
B: I worked very hard to become the best teacher I can be.
G: Thank you for coming in. I'll let you know. 
B: Thanks. So much for being up front. For my third interview, I decided to avoid discussing about my Tourette's at all.
B: Each week I like to send home a progress report to my students' parents. Um, I like to give my students a voice in their learning to be hands-on and interactive in the classroom, but also to keep the parents closely involved.
